Method of making perfumed socks

ABSTRACT

A method of making perfumed socks is disclosed. The method includes dyeing white yarn, forming the dyed yarn into socks, soaking the socks in a fragrant liquid, fitting the socks over feet molds, and steaming the socks to take shape.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to making socks, and in particular to amethod of making perfumed socks.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Various ways of minimizing foot odor and sock odor are employed today.Many use deodorizing sprays and other types of deodorizers to preventfoot and sock odor from permeating the local area. Unfortunately,deodorizing sprays and the like have to be purchased separately from thesocks that the purchaser is wearing and can add to the cost ofpreventing foot and sock odor. If the socks, themselves, were deodorizedand made fragrant, it would ease the cost of eliminating foot and sockodor and make it more convenient for the consumer.

There is therefore a need for a method of making perfumed socks thatallows for the convenient and inexpensive elimination of foot and sockodor.

OBJECTS AND SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

It is an object of the present invention to provide a method of makingperfumed socks.

It is a further object of the present invention to provide a method ofmaking perfumed socks by dyeing white yarn, soaking the yarn in afragrant liquid, making socks using the soaked and dyed yarn, fittingthe socks over feet molds, and steaming the socks to take shape.

It is yet a further object of the present invention to provide a methodof making perfumed socks by dyeing white yarn, making socks using thedyed yarn, soaking the socks in fragrant liquid, fitting the socks overfeet molds, and steaming the socks to take shape.

It is yet a further objective of the present invention to provide amethod of making socks by dyeing white yarn, forming the dyed yarn intosocks, soaking the socks in a fragrant liquid comprised of 3-6%fragrance concentrate, and the remaining liquid is water, fitting thesocks over feet molds, and steaming the socks to take shape.

In accordance with a first aspect of the present invention, a novelmethod of making perfumed socks is disclosed. The novel method includesdyeing white yarn, soaking the yarn in a fragrant liquid, making socksusing the soaked and dyed yarn, fitting the socks over feet molds, andsteaming the socks to take shape.

In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, a novelmethod of making perfumed socks is disclosed. The novel method includesdyeing white yarn, making socks using the dyed yarn, soaking the socksin fragrant liquid, fitting the socks over feet molds, and steaming thesocks to take shape.

In accordance with yet another aspect of the present invention, anothernovel method of making perfumed socks is disclosed. The novel methodincludes dyeing white yarn, forming the dyed yarn into socks, soakingthe socks in a fragrant liquid comprised of 3-6% fragrance concentrate,and the remaining liquid is water, fitting the socks over feet molds,and steaming the socks to take shape.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The foregoing summary, as well as the following detailed description ofa preferred embodiment of the present invention will be betterunderstood when read with reference to the appended drawings, wherein:

FIG. 1 is a flow diagram of a method of making perfumed socks inaccordance with the present invention.

FIG. 2 is a flow diagram of an alternative method of making perfumedsocks in accordance with the present invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

Referring now to the drawings, and in particular to FIG. 1, a method ofmaking perfumed socks 100 is disclosed. The method includes as a firststep dyeing white yarn 110 to a desired color. In step 120, the dyedyarn is soaked in a fragrant liquid. The soaked and dyed yarn is madeinto socks in step 130. In step 140, the socks are fitted over feetmolds. In step 150, the socks are steamed in order to allow them to takeshape. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the fragrantliquid is preferably formed of water and 3-6% fragrance concentrate,however, any appropriate amounts of water and fragrance concentrateknown to one of ordinary skill in the art may be employed to make thefragrant liquid.

Referring now to FIG. 2, an alternative method of making perfumed socks200 is described. The first step 210 is to dye white yarn to a desiredcolor. In step 220, the dyed white yarn is made into socks. The socksare soaked in a fragrant liquid in step 230. In step 240, the socks arefitted over feet molds. In step 250, the socks are steamed in order toallow them to take shape. Again, in a preferred embodiment of thepresent invention, the fragrant liquid is preferably formed of water and3-6% fragrance concentrate, however, any appropriate amounts of waterand fragrance concentrate known to one of ordinary skill in the art maybe employed to make the fragrant liquid.

In view of the foregoing disclosure, some advantages of the presentinvention can be seen. For example, a novel method of making perfumedsocks is disclosed. The method allows for the elimination of foot andsock odor by simply using a pair of perfumed socks. There is norequirement for additional perfumes or deodorizers to be sprayed on, andthe like.

While the preferred embodiment of the present invention has beendescribed and illustrated, modifications may be made by one of ordinaryskill in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of theinvention as defined in the appended claims. For example, white yarn isdisclosed as the yarn to begin the method with, however, any color yarnknown to one of ordinary skill in the art may be used.
